An early and label-defining ECM classic in both sound and style. Folk, jazz and classical musics are seamlessly blended into an original whole.

Few jazz record companies have achieved so distinctive a sound and characteristic a style as the German label ECM. This 1974 recording by acoustic guitarist Ralph Towner is a classic of the label's early period. Adept at blending jazz with folk and classical elements, Towner is joined here by drummer Jon Christensen and two of the label's essential voices, the sweetly muscular saxophone sound of Jan Garbarek and the springy bass virtuosity of Eberhard Weber. The quartet has both orchestral breadth and varied textures, each enhanced by some discreet overdubbing and fairly extensive doubling--Weber adding electric bass leads and background cello, Towner adding some piano to his classical and 12-string guitars, and Garbarek playing soprano and overdubbing two flutes on "Nimbus." The modal and atmospheric improvisations contribute to the feeling of spaciousness, and the sumptuously beautiful sound seems to embrace the instruments. --Stuart Broomer

Back in print, one of the most engrossing of Joyce Carol Oates's earlier novels explores a relationship between two women. Originally published in 1985, Solstice is the gripping story of Monica Jensen and Sheila Trask, two young women who are complete opposites yet irresistibly attracted to each other. Blonde, shy, recently divorced Monica is a school teacher; dark, nocturnal, sophisticated Sheila is a painter of stature, driven by the needs of her art. Over the months, their friendship deepens, first to love and then to a near-fatal obsession.

Summer Solstice is a collection of twelve poems about the thoughts and feelings that dominate our inner landscape as we reach middle age: its themes include children growing up and moving away, the loss of our parents, coming to terms with our own mortality, the validity of our spiritual beliefs, and the meaning of our personal lives, now half complete, and the direction we choose to give them in the time we have remaining. The poems plumb the depth and richness that comes with the passing of years, our increased sensitivity to suffering and sorrow, but also our enhanced awareness of life's enduring beauty, purpose, and joy. Although the poems are written in a rich, lyrical style, their impact is direct and emotional—a refreshing antidote to the intellectual poetry of today that often strives to hide as much as it reveals.
